title: [Current status of clinical research on gastric cancer in China].
abstract: Gastric cancer remains the most lethal disease in China. Although great progress has been made in the treatment, intractable problems in clinical practice are yet to be answered by clinical research. After development during decades, clinical research on gastric cancer in China has stepped from simple following to independent initiation. In this paper, we will review the development history of clinical research in China, and compare with that of developed countries in order to elucidate the advantage and future prospect.
